Sharing copies of Rise 360 source files?
Thanks for your reply, Karl.

While I appreciate this option, I am concerned about its practicality. Expecting a client to maintain a subscription costing $1,300 annually just to access their source files seems quite onerous. This is especially relevant, considering they may not have ongoing or frequent needs for the Articulate 360 platform.
Additionally, I'd like to address my situation as a content creator who utilizes multiple tools. My work often involves Lectora and Captivate, and this project is my first encounter with Articulate 360. It appears that Articulate Rise 360 is the only platform that does not allow offline storage of source files. This is surprising and somewhat inconvenient, given that the ability to store and access source files offline is a fundamental feature in all other content creation tools.
Unless I have continuous Articulate Rise 360 work, it makes no sense for me to continue maintaining an active Account. So what happens to all my projects? I lose them all? Sure, I can keep offline web copies, but I won't be able to edit or leverage them for future projects.
Is this a unique concern, or have others found themselves in similar situations? Any further insights or workarounds you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for considering my perspective.
It's incredibly frustrating that this issue remains unresolved. As the administrator responsible for our corporate LMS and its content, I rely on well-established internal processes—specifically, storing source files on our internal SharePoint—to quickly address technical glitches or minor updates without delay.
However, with our development teams increasingly using Rise to create new content, we're now facing a serious challenge: nearly half of our catalog is built in Rise, yet we have no way to support it unless we track down individual authors and ask them to manually share their source files. This is not sustainable.
As the manager overseeing our enterprise licenses, I should at least have the ability to access my team members' dashboards to retrieve source files directly. The lack of this functionality is a major gap in Rise’s support model—failing both in collaborative access and in scalable content management.
